I would love there to be a wolf or dog race too. Especially cause you know they'd have like a little NPC miqote girl being chased by a little NPC wolf boy in ildyshire and she'd totally claw up his face if he finally caught her.... lol... The NPC possibilities are endless.Quote:

I do find it odd how we are basically resorted to always being "Hot" or "cute" you really have to try to make yourself look ugly in this game. The original concept art for Aura, I love it and if they had turned out like that I probably would have used my Fantasia and switched instantly. I am not opposed to new races but if we do, I want something with more beast qualities rather than the anime animal ears and tail kinda thing.

I'd be happy with those. Especially Seeq -
02-22-2016, 04:15 AMUltimatecaliburSorry, but we are unlikely to see playable races with bestial muzzled faces or non-humanoid feet for one reason: armor models. Currently all races use slightly modified versions of the same head gear models. Any race with an extended muzzle or non-human feet would necessitate creation of unique helm and/or foot gear models.Quote:

Roegadyn armour didn't look stretched out, and Lalafell still had detail you could make out. They were each custom fit to the race.
But in the transition to 2.0 they made a heavy decision in favour of increasing the speed in which they could produce more unique looking armour, is that all the armour needs to be able to fit all the races with a simple scaling. So other than extremely minor things in regards to tails (it's laughable now), all the models are pretty much the same, just scaled to fit your character.
So no high heeled variants for animal legs, no muzzles for snouts. It'd be great to have a beast-like race, but unless they have hyur-like silhouettes, it'd go against everything they changed to streamline the game. -

I'd prefer they focus on the existing races, more diversity means less options overall.

You miss his point, Mirta. Plus, that concept was scrapped due to the very reason Ultimatecalibur (and Canadane) has brought up - they can't do such a race due to the limited armor system in use.

02-22-2016, 05:30 AMmirta000look at the body and length of the face, it WOULD work with the current armour. They scrapped it because they wanted another popular race and they wanted to not waste resources on something that would have questionable popularity, like Roegadyn and Elezen did. Meaning if they would relaunch again, everything would be cute and nothing would be out of proportion >_<Quote:
